Morning lecture from Wellington,

New Zealand. Many misunderstandings

are connected with the word Guru.

What means Guru? Guru is simply

a teacher, a master. Our whole life

we are guided by teachers. Our first

teachers are mother and father. As

we grow up, we are learning from

our brothers and sisters, our friends,

from the school teachers, the priests

and we are following the teachings

of the spiritual masters. The final

aim is to become our own Guru, to

understand and to develop the inner

master. In everybody of us is sitting

that Gurudev, but the light can only

be, if we do not have anymore the

negative qualities like hate, jealousy,

anger, greed and so on. We have

to develop the Guru qualities, which

means, we have to be free from the

entire range of our negative qualities.

The essential condition for that is the

inner awakening. Otherwise we are

only self made masters which cannot

have that value.
